Alrighty, so I wrote the GameLauncher list with a problem I was having in
FreeDOS. GameLauncher is a frontend for a bunch of emulators that basically
allows you to pick a game, then it runs the emulator with said game. I.e., I
select Arkanoid for the NES, and it would run 'c:\ARCADE\ROCKNES\rocknes.exe
arkanoid.nes'
Unfortunately, it doesn't work right. So. Is what he says true? Does FreeDOS
have problems with sub processes? If so, how could GL or FreeDOS be modified
to fix this?
I'd really like to have FreeDOS running on here. Win98 would be easier, but
would use more precious resources; FreeDOS gives me real-time emulation in
ZSNES on this machine (233 MHz, 48 MB RAM), where Win98 needs sound turned
off.
I might have to find my old MS-DOS 6 disks, though. Oh, well.

I dunno... if runit.bat works, but it doesn't run inside GL, maybe
FreeDOS has a problem launching sub processes. Maybe try it under
MS-DOS or DR-DOS and see if it works.

Hello, Gamelaunchers
Okay. So I've set up an old 233 MHz Pentium MMX machine as a
classic
gaming machine. GameLauncher seemed more versatile than ArcadeOS, so I
decided to give it a shot. And, well. See the email subject.
I'm running Game Launcher in the newest version of FreeDOS. I have
it
sitting in C:\ARCADE\GLAUNCH, and RockNES sitting in
C:\ARCADE\ROCKNES. NES
ROM images are in C:\ARCADE\ROCKNES\ROMS. I believe I have the config
files
set up correctly, but here's what happens: I select an NES game in Game
Launcher, and it exits to the command line.
Running _gl32 0xdead 0xbeef and selecting, say, Ice Hockey
returns
this runit.bat:
@echo on
cd C:\ARCADE\ROCKNES
echo Will run: ROCKNES.EXE C:\ARCADE\ROCKNES\ROMS\ICE_HOCK.NES
pause
ROCKNES.EXE C:\ARCADE\ROCKNES\ROMS\ICE_HOCK.NES
cd c:\arcade\glaunch
pause
Running this batch file does, indeed, load up RockNES with Ice
Hockey
running. Here's my rocknes.cfg:
[Emulator]
name = RockNES
description = Nintendo
directory = c:\arcade\rocknes
executable = rocknes.exe
global_options =
map_file = nes.map
options_before_rom = yes
screen_shot_directory = c:\arcade\rocknes\shots
use_rom_file = no
rom_directory = c:\arcade\rocknes\roms
rom_extension = nes
use_rom_directory = yes
So.. what's up? I really want to get this working, it looks really
neat.
Thanks!
